CHAPTER XVIII


The events Of the next few weeks
were TO / ora more like the wild hap
peuings of a terrible dream than actual
re4lit es.
\ curious throng sprung up from
somewhere. and took possession of the
EvergreeDs.
The oil rookery seemed alive with
people some in blue coats, but many
in the rough garb Of the neighboriug
farmers.
Strange eyes peered in at the door Of
the octagon room. Strange forms wan
dered through the empty, echoing
rooms below.
Hut through it all she was somehow
conscious Of Ted's presence, and felt
that he was director there. There was
still another, a pale man, who had been
borne IN by strong hands. who they
told her was her father. who had wept
over her and called her his dear, lost
child.
How strange it was. How tired they
male her How they all went whirl-
ing like peg-tops, round and round in

THE DAIRY.

Or,antjty Of u5iF Required for Btttter.
How much milk is required to make one
pound of butter depends upon so many
circumstances as to render it impossible to
estimate upon any certain quantity as to
the proper proportion. No two breeds OF
cattle possess the same qualifications, and
there is no herd of one breed made up of
COWS alike in capacity for either butter or
milk Milk is a variable substance, and
even when some particular COW may be Sc
lected for experiment in the production of
milk and butter she Will fail to give
uniform quantity of milk of the same
quality for one day to another. The sea-
sons influence the Weld, as is shown by the
trial of a COW selected for purposes of eX-
pertinent. Allow two pounds of milk to
represent one quart, the record shows that
in January from fifteen pounds of milk
one pound of butter was produced, while
in February one pound of butter was made
from fourteen pounds of milk. These
months being winter months, when green
food is usually scarce, It would naturally
be supposed that in summer the COW would
give a larger quantity of butter from
given quantity of milk than she would in
the winter, but her record was twenty one
pounds of milk for one pound of butter IN
March, nineteen pounds of milk for one
pound of butter in April, and twenty-five
DOuuuS Ol IlllIh lDT buc IOllHAl VI buttti
in May. The quantity of milk required to
produce a pound of butter during the re-
mainder of the year was: For June, 81
pounds; July, y pounds; August, %
pounds; September, % pounds; October,
Is pounds; November, l6 pounds, and De-
cember, - pounds. 1t does not imply that
during the summer season the quantity of
milk yielded by the COW was less than
yielded in winter, but that it was not as
rich III cream. These changes were eff
fected. not by the quantity of food but by
its quality, as the COW had abundant pas
turage in June, although II required fifty
four pounds of milk to produce one pound
of butter during the month. November to
March are periods of the year when COWS
are fed on concentrated food, and conse-
quertly they receive more attention from
the dairymen. The yield of milk may be
less, but the proportionate quantity of
butter may be greater, The time of calv-
ing also affects the quality, while the
severity of the cold, as well as the shelter
and protection given, must also be con-
sidered. The experiment shows how
difficult it is to estimate upon the butter
production of a COW. The food and its
quality is the most important feature of
management, and the tests OF cows for n
| week only may nor represent the capacity
for a longer time. No matter what the
breed may be, upon the management
depends the value and capacity of the
animal.

THE STOCK-RANCH.
EIsiFG0c for SHefD.

Thomas Sanders of Haverhill, Mass,
entered flock of eleven thoroughbred,
registered Atwood Merino sheep at the last
Essex Agricultural Fair, from which, in
May 1855, he clipped the following average
feeces: For the eleven-ten ewes and one
ram-ffteen pounds thirteen ounces per
head: his whole flock of twenty-five, four
teen ewes in addition TO the above, sheered
little over twelve pounds one ounce per
head. This fine flock of sheep is fed on
pasture in summer and on ensilage in
winter, with some turnips added.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
he De,,ghts of a use scent Jar


It's a pitv that so few housekeepers,
comparatively, know the never ending sat
isfaction to be derived from the possession
of a rose scent jar, yet at the cost of little
painstaking they are within the reach of
the majority.
Nothing gives more subtle, delightful
perfume to an apartment than one of these
Jars, which should be opened every morn
ing after the necessary cleaning and dust
ing is finished for an hour, then carefully
closed.
All your friends will ask: What gives
your rooms so delightful a fragrance?" 1t
is such pure yet delicious odor that it
charms every one.
The preparation of the rose stock should
be detailed to the care-taking member of
the family who never forgets anything.
Gather the rose petals in the morning,
let them stand in a cool place, tossed up
lightly, for one hour to dry off, then put
them in layers, with salt sprinkied over
each layer, into a large covered dish
a glass berry dish is a convenient recep-
tacle. You can add to this for several
mornings till you have enough stock from
pint to a quart, according to the size of
the lar-stir every morning, and let the
whole stand for ten days. Then transfer
it to a glass frult-jar, in the bottom of
which you have placed two ounces of ALL
spice, coarsely ground, and as much stick
cinnamon, broken coarsely. This may
stand now for six weeks, closely covered
when it is ready for the permanent jar,
which may be as pretty as your ingenuity
can devise or your means purchase. Those
with double covers are the best, and very
pretty ones in the blue and white Japanese
ware-I believe the dealers call it kaaga-
holding over a quart, can be bought for
70 cents.
Have ready one ounce each of cloves,
allspice, cinnamon, and mace, all ground
mot fine, one ounce of orris root bruised
and shredded, two ounces of lavender
flowers, and n small quantity of any other
sweet-scented dried flowers or herbs; mix
together and put into jar in alternate
LAYERS with the rose stock; and few drops
of oil of rose geranium or violet, and pour
over the whole e-quarter pint of good
cologne.
This will last for years, though from
time to time you may add a little lavender
or orange-fower water. or any nice per-
fume, and some seasons few fresh rose
petals. You will derive a satisfaction
| from the labor only to be estimated by the
happy owners of similar jars.
Ladies in the country might find 1t profit
able to prepare the rose stock for city GUS
toners.

Canada YnisHes u, IIeado,os.

The Canada thistle, though not easily
killed, is yet comparatively easy to keep III
subsection, provided the surface is covered
with other vegetation. \ heavy growth of
clover or timothy will leave little room for
thistles, except in vacant spaces. Enough
will push through to keep the root alive,
and as soon as the field is plowed they will
grow with greater vigor than ever, even on
fields whore but few before were to be
seen. Heavily seeding with clover or grass
is therefore one of the best means, not of
destroying thistles, but of making them
as little trouble as possible. On a farm
filled with thistles the larger part should
be seeded heavily, and the fields one after
another to be taken in hand and the thistle
in each thoroughly rooted out. 1t is true a
great deal of hay is half thistles, but this IS
mainly the farmers fault, either in not SOW
ing enough grass and clover seed or III
pasturing these until they were destroyed,
leaving the thistles to occupy their places.

Hay is not generally so much cheaper
when Lswly gathered into the barn as it is
supposed to be. Ii has too large proportion
of moisture. Even when what is called
thoroughly dry, the extra weight above
what it would show next spring reveals the
presence of water, often $50 to 200 pounds
per ton. Most hay is somewhat laxative
for horses at work, and so also new oats.
If the hay is new, the oats should, if pos
sible, be of the previous years growth.
small ration of old oats will impart
strength, while oats fully ripe, but of this
years growth, fed from the bundle, will
apparently weaken the horse rather than
make him stronger. The drying out of hay
during the winter is accomplished mainly
by cold. Frost expands the moisture in the
hay, exposing more of it to the air until it
gradually disappears.

1t is saving of labor TO draw out manure
and then pillow it under for wheat. But
when this is admitted, the sum of the adj
vantages of this plan is exhausted. Under
the furrow coarse manure may be abso-
lutely injurious, as it will keep the soil
too light. For distributing manure on land
plowed for wheat, the regular manure
spreaders with wide tires are greatly su-
perior to wagons. They not only cover
the ground more evenly and save labor,
but Their broad tires compact the ground
without cutting into it deeply. Thus, even
when not distributing manure, these
spreaders are fitting the land to produce a
better crop.

When the fruit begins to fall, COWS
should be kept out of apple orchards.
Green apples are not very nutritious,
though cows, like young boys, will eat
them by the Wholesale. 1t is the unequal
supply that does COWS most damage. A
few apples each day will do them no harm.
But any day there is liable to occur wind
storm which may blow off ene-third to one
half the fruit on the trees. The COW then
will gorge herself so as to stop her flow eff
milk almost entirely; and only with great
care in feeding can be restored, and never
up to the amount before she dried off.

SHEEP IN WINTER.
4 Course of Feeding Which Will Improve
the Thrift of the Flock.

There is Il difference of opinion as to
what sheep should be fed in winter.
The old-time idea that sheep would do
plenty well enough on bean-stalks and
buckwheat straw has been pretty gem
orally abandoned in these enlightened
days. when stock-growing and breed
ing keep pace with other lines of pro-
gress. There are some who still adj
here to the old traditional notion, but
they are mostly in the minority and
rapidly becoming fewer.
To be SURF there are some kinds Of
toider-the bean-stalk for instance
that sheep will readily eat. while no
other animal will touch it, if given a
choice in the matter; but that is no
proof that q sole diet Of bean-stalks, or
other coarse fodder, is the best thing in
the world for sheep. Sheep do not
thrive best on woody. tibrous fodder.
nor does any other farm animal. The
slighter grinding power and smaller
capacity OF sheep render them less
capable of consuming such fodder than
larger animals are. In proof OF this
look in the managers {. sheep and cat
tie and make a comparison. But little
''ortS' is left in the cattle manager,
while q large amount is left in the
sheep racks. The woody stems of
timothy hay and the clover stocks are
nearly all left, unless indeed the poor
sheep are starved down to such diet.
Sheep and young calves should. we
are satisfied, have the finest, tenderest
hay that the place affords. Early cut
June nay. well cured. is very much
rclished by them and will be eaten up
quite clean. Sheep like the heads and
leaves of wen the coarsest grasses. for
there is much grain in the heads. but
they should not be expected TO eat the
coarse stalks.
Perhaps, more than any other ami.
nal, sheep need a little grain in win.

needs a supplementary ration of
grain. The strain upon her system
